A blog post about a poster about a blog...


At the risk of being slightly too self-referential for my own good I thought you might be interested in the poster about this blog [PDF file, 1.95 Mb] that Patrick is very kindly taking to the UK and Ireland HIA Conference for me. As the poster says "despite having a number of regular visitors we have experienced difficulty in encouraging users to comment on the issues raised" so I'd be interested to hear your thougts on it! :)

The conference program is now available and it looks like there will be a number of really fascinating sessions. I'm very interested to see that so many people will be presenting on capacity building issues. At the last conference in 2004 it seemed as though there were only a handful of people engaged in system-oriented capacity building work - has there been a shift in the focus of HIA work internationally?

  1. now i feel even more guilty for never posting all those comments i thought of...

    i always wish i could see the subject lines of the comments, otherwise who reads them right?

    anyway, lucky patrick for babysitting your poster in wales!

  2. Hi Dave. Don't feel guilty - that's energy that could be directed towards commenting! :)

    Your idea about comment subject lines is a good one, though I'm not sure if we'll be touching on the technical limits of blogs and moving into the realm of online discussion boards. I'll look into it.

    Hopefully Patrick will find the conference useful - the program looks great. Expect some related posts soon.

    Thanks,
    Ben
